Default RE: Nelson pipe seals

Hi Randy, I didn't think about teflon tape, I'll give that a try. I attacked the problem from the opposite end this morning. I made a press in bushing to tighten up the fit of the O.D. of the O-rings. It helped, but I didn't put enough of a squeeze on the O-rings.
On second thought, if I shim the I.D. of the O-rings with teflon tape....that will lift them slightly out of the machined groove that serves to anchor them. Still worth a try, thanks
